Carbon: Acquia to launch commercially supported distribution of Drupal
A startup company named Acquia has announced that they are all set to launch the first commercially supported distribution of Drupal.
The company was founded by Dries Buytaert, Drupal creator and project leader.
They are planning to launch Carbon which is based on Drupal 6.x core in addition to the top 30 Drupal modules and a packaged installer. It would also come with documentation and site-building guidelines.
The company is also preparing an intelligent update notification service named Spokes for the customers.
Acquia spoke about Carbon: “We do not claim to own or control Drupal in any way…. The Drupal Association continues to operate the drupal.org domain, Dries continues to own the Drupal trademark, and the Drupal community continues to set the technical direction of the Drupal project. Acquia strongly believes that Dries must be able to effectively lead the Drupal project where the community wants it to go– and not negatively affect the project due to our own needs.”
